I'm new to the zaregoto series, i just watched the anime and got obsessed with Jun and i want to see more of her, i head that theres a LN with her as a protagonist, can i read it without reading the other volumes? If yes then whats the name of this LN?

Hey, I love Aikawa Jun too! The LN series you're talking about is called the Saikyou Series (Strongest Series). It's wonderful. It's one of my favorite parts of the Zaregoto Series. I mean my profile picture is from it, even. The art Take has done for it is stunning.

But no, you shouldn't read it before reading Zaregoto. The biggest reason being that it's set years after the main series itself and requires a lot of context for her. If you really care about her character, I wouldn't recommend it until after the Zaregoto Series because a lot of the meaningful moments with her won't be as impactful. Another reason you can't really read it is that it's mostly untranslated. However, what has been translated can be found on @mirroredtranslations ! Please go read Zaregoto, Jun is very much involved in it and it's one of the reasons I've come to love her so much. She's also featured in other spin-offs like the Ningen Series (Human Series) which has a few manga that adapt parts of it (Ningen Shiken and Ningen Knock) Official English translations for the series as a whole are mostly missing but fans have translated some of it: You can find Zaregoto volumes 1-9 translated in English on here (make sure you're starting from Vol 1, the site shows Vol 4 first) Some of Saikyou Series on here And if you're curious about the few Ningen Series LNs which don't feature Jun but are fan translated: Vol 1, Vol 3 chapter 3, Vol 7 Ningen Series manga: Shiken and Knock The Ningen Series is all over the timeline and focuses on the Zerozaki family in the Zaregoto universe, but Knock features Jun in her teenage years. So Knock is more of a prequel, but still requires context from Zaregoto proper.

Very long answer but I hope it helps!

is there a character from another anime that you think it would be good for Nadeko Sengoku to make friends with?

i was mulling this one over for a while bc nadeko is quite reclusive and introverted, for lack of a better word. i think aikawa jun should show up and give her some advice every once in a while. a mentee mentor type things. nadeko needs a good guiding figure who isnt as.... like that as the monogatari adults are. aikawa is bombastic enough to carry the convo and responsibility and could impart good words. and they can have a nice wholesome vibe going on. ill go with that

she is THE greatest detective ⚡

i'm not familiar with Nisioisin having done that before; where does it come up?

I meant generally in a sense (not quite a full love story in context) but like, zaregoto 1, with Aikawa Jun and gay sex island. As nisio fans it’s like an open secret but Aikawa Jun was described masculinely as an assist to convey feelings towards her as romantic in book one but when being revealed as a woman it doesn’t take away from the romantic attraction to woman thing.

Though Aikawa herself isn’t described as sapphic in the novel, it plays on a similar concepts due to other character’s reactions to her. Less of using the tropes of obscured gender to heighten romantic tension as a main plot but as a side aspect of the setting, in that I think it’s similar, though not the same.

It certainly says something about nisio that he’s done something like this trope more than once.

Even if his first use of said plot point wasn’t actually the main plot of zaregoto 1 (don’t go into it thinking it’s a big yuri adventure, it’s about a mental illness guy, there is a bit of yuri but what’s most important is a mental illness guy)

Here’s a quicker version of himikos backstory like I promised

Himikos birth name was Akatani Shinamoru which yes again is the same as another oc but that’s why she changed her name later on

When Himiko was born her parents hated her and abused her

Then when she was five she was diagnosed as quirkless

After that her parents became more abusive

The only light in her life was her friend, Jun Hano

Her and Jun planned to run away together on her half birthday and start their life anew

They were gonna rename themselves as Mei and Tei

But the night before her fifth and a half birthday himikos parents brought someone over to the house

That someone referred to himself as the doctor

Then the doctor killed her parent’s, lit her house on fire, and kidnapped her

She was experimented on for a year and a half

Throughout that year her hair turned white

Her right eye glowed a brighter blue

And her left eye turned white

She also gained three quirks, a teleportation quirk, a regeneration quirk, and an intelligence quirk

Roughly six months into her being stuck with the doctor he stopped the experimentation and started training her

She was taught taekwondo karate and jieitaikakutōjutsu then formed her own fighting style from what she learned

After the year and a half she escaped but ended up being kidnapped again by someone else

This someone else name was Jin Takahashi

Jin ran a fighting ring where villains could fight with each other either with or without quirks

But Jin would also kidnap people and force them into fights to the death

Jin ended up putting Himiko into this fighting ring and she was forced to fight to the death with both adults and kids alike

She was stuck there for three years from age seven to ten and a half

Throughout those three years she was fighting almost every day

She had been forced into so many fights to the death that she had been forced to kill 685 people

But eventually heroes and police found out about this fighting ring and took it down arresting dozens of villains and Jin

But after three years of Himiko being made to fight Jin had constantly told her that if she tried to run she would simply be arrested for killing so many people

So she ran. Himiko then tried to turne her life around by changing her name and calling herself Mei Himiko

She went to the library often and taught herself everything she missed out on learning and more

She learned over ten languages, two types of sign language, and up to college level math, reading, writing, science, history, and more.

After six months of constant study along with hacking into police files to make it seem as though Mei Himiko had always existed and was just another eleven year old who was homeschooled

But also at eleven she decided to try and use her fighting capabilities for good rather than evil and she became the vigilante known as shadow

But eventually after three years she allowed herself to be caught and ended up in a vigilante reform program, she was also adopted by either aizawa or another oc of mine name Rena Itsika

She was also enrolled into class 1a of the UA hero course and is now training to become a hero!

Yay you all finally have her backstory though tbh it’s ever changing

Also here’s five fun facts about my au!

1: both Shinsou and kaminari are adopted by aizawa and were actually rescued from their bio parents by shadow and aizawa!

2: next has an adopted child who’s name is Ichiro Aikawa and they go by they/them pronouns, they weren’t rescued by shadow tho

3: I ship erasermic so they are married!

4: due to me reading a lot of fanfics I have come to love midnight so she is a bit more child friendly in this au and her outfit looks like that because of her quirk coming out of her skin! She also totally a mom friend and is super sweet

5: I hate m!neta so instead of him being in class a we have Shinsou!

And that’s all the fun facts I have! Hope you have a lovely day, and my phone is on six percent so I gotta go plug it in! Bye!

ccan i be crazy for a second as a Detective Media Consumer

this post actually drives me nuts and normally i'd be like whatever everyone on the internet uses hyperbole but op clearly doesn't know much about the genre or archetype and the fact that a bunch of people who also don't know a lot about the genre agree with them is a littleee aggravating likeeeee

while they aren't wrong that plenty of fictional detectives are affiliated with law enforcement most of them are not

arguably the most influential ones aren't affiliated with law enforcement and hate cops, not just sherlock holmes

'all of them should be weirdos about-' they are. they are amateurs who enjoy mystery solving.

it's worth noting -- bc op brings up holmes in the tags of their og post -- that holmes popularizes the fictional detective archetype and that's why many of them are actually not police detectives

let's look at a few of them

philo vance: famously hated by the police, messes with investigations for fun

john dickson carr's gideon fell: another amateur detective, also annoys tf out of the police

edogawa rampo's akechi kogoro: literally a college student with a hobby (sound familiar?) who often runs circles around and deceives the police to get culprits off the hook when he feels like it

soji shimada's kiyoshi mitarai: an astrologer and college professor who gets brought cases by his crime enthusiast boyfriend, hates the police and nearly gets arrested by an officer for being disrespectful

seishi yokomizo's kosuke kindaichi: another amateur sleuth who's often underestimated by police investigators

yukito ayatsuji's kiyoshi shimada: a buddhist monk who solves mysteries part time because he's a mystery enthusiast

nisioisin's iichan: literal college student, solves mysteries because he happens to be there

nisioisin's jun aikawa: a freelancer in many fields who isn't solely a 'detective,' but isn't tied to any one organization or agency

etc etc etc

like yeah there are many detectives who are even p.i's that are often affiliated with or working with the police (L from death note, shawn spencer, etc) to act like they're typically written or portrayed like a cop character is so...??

when. a very clear, defining facet of the archetype is that they aren't part of the police force. and it's usually because these stories often feature officers as their culprits. like. .

not to mention that many of these characters are also meant to solve their crimes in unconventional ways, apart from the bureaucratic methods of a crime scene investigator - again they are Guys With a Hobby they're Mystery Enthusiasts and i'm sure a lot of authors find more freedom writing a private investigator than a cop because cops are supposed to wrap things up a certain way. they're supposed to be aiming for arrests. sometimes a detective doesn't want to do that. sometimes they want to solve the crime, lie to the police, and get the culprit off the hook bc they know the truth and don't think that the culprit deserves to get jailed and they dgaf if that's "right" or "wrong" in the eyes of the system

like i do think that a lot of more 'mainstream' media like criminal minds or CSI or whatever do portray a very different sort of detective but traditionally your fictional detective is a private investigator and their stories usually mandate that the police are incompetent, corrupt, etc in order to benefit the amateur sleuth who usually has poor rapport with them

it's definitely rarer to find detective media where zero cops are involved, i get it, but i think it's crazy to completely ignore that the entire genre originated from and is built off the backs of guys who cannot mind their own business to save their lives

smash or pass + jun aikawa for gojo. based on vibes alone

Send Smash or Pass + a name and my muse will say if they would smash or pass on that person.

[ I legit had to look up who this is. As I have no idea who this Jun character is right now, I can't say Satoru would vibe with this person ]

"Pass. I can see some type of curse energy coming out of this person or not. Also, I like a nice girl. This woman doesn't seem all that cheery". Seemed like this lady was born due to an experiment or something. Nothing Satoru wants to get involved in that's for sure. And actually, this Jun lady actually dodged a bullet with this one.
